Oban 14 Year Old

Whisky Oban 14 Year Old

700ml BOTTLE

The most identifying product of the Oban distillery is this single malt scotch whisky aged 14 years: a full, rich, almost oily malt.

Oban 14 Year Old is a flag of scotch whisky known throughout the world, for many years one of the few representatives of Scotland when the world had not yet learned to appreciate the purity and intensity of Made In Scotland malts. Talking about Oban is equivalent to talking about the small town of which the distillery is the beating heart, also having to deal with the limitation of having many "civilized" neighbors and not being able to distill every day of the year, having to concentrate production on the days weekdays. This limit is also an advantage because in reality Oban 14 is available but cannot increase its production much, reaching the maximum limit that cannot be exceeded and therefore being able to pay maximum attention to that annual, monthly, weekly quantity without being able go astray.

Diageo knows very well how Oban has opened so many doors for so many whisky bars and clubs spread all over the world and has always paid special attention to this jewel in the crown, a crown well shared by other legendary distilleries, but few of which can afford such a long history and such an ironclad tradition as Oban.

Oban 14 Years Old is none other than the whisky best of the distillery and until a few years ago also the only example of Oban: for some years Oban Little Bay has presented the more youthful side of Oban malt but the caliber and olfactory depth of Oban 14 Years Old cannot be beaten. Being able to count on this particularity, Oban 14 Years Old is the whisky perfect to start approaching the boundless Scotland and to admire up close a work done to perfection, by those who have been dealing with it for over two centuries without fear of remaining anachronistic but rather favoring tradition over business.
